[QUOTE="Klang180, post: 329249, member: 47794"] I think as a T1 you should be able to test as many times as you want. The only time this isn't a good guideline is if you are living from one test to the next i.e. just reacting and not planning or prempting. Gary Schneier says 4-8 is a good long term goal and i would be prepared to fight for at least that if i were you. I presented my case to my doctor the other day telling him all that i was doing and he was very supportive so maybe you need to change docs. Said fact is that many GPs are next to clueless when it comes to diabetes (& nutrition for that matter) so you need ot take the intiative yourself. If you take in reasoned arguments and show what you are doing backed up by literature like Gary Schneier's Think like a pancreas and i think your point will be made! [/QUOTE]
